Blurb:

This chapter shows that nonwh- clauses can become embedded in noun groups and adjective groups, that they can co-perform an eventstructure function with an appositive noun group as co-performer, and that they can participate in discontinuous extraposed structures. We will also consider briefly nonfinite wh- clause complexes, which possess the coreference characteristics of wh- clauses but are marked as nonwh- clauses.
